Heal

Sometimes I feel like
I want to heal
the world
Sometimes it seems like
I can do anything
But then sometimes
I realize
that I’m human
and I can’t do
anything.
I lie awake in my bed
curled up like an infant
wanting to leave
it all
behind
I cry out to you
but I’m not sure
you hear
I want you to hold
me
but I’m not sure
you care
I’m shaking
now
I’m not awake
now
but my sleep
doesn’t offer me
peace
Dreams are nightmares
a focusing of my
thoughts
into a light beam
I don’t want
to see.

Anywhere But Here

Confused,

my head
            spins
my heart
            stops
and no
            matter
where I
            am
I’m never
            where
I want
            to be
